Jaguars S Josh Evans underwent offseason shoulder surgery.

He's not taking part in OTAs, but is expected to be fine "in a couple weeks." Evans started 25-of-32 games his first two seasons. The former sixth-rounder out of Florida received poor marks across the board from PFF and is now working as a strict backup following the additions of Sergio Brown and James Sample. May 27 - 9:21 AM

Evans underwent a procedure to correct a bone spur on his foot May 20. He'll fall a nose behind Winston Guy in their battle for the starting free safety gig. Jaguars coaches have been talking up both players. Wed, May 28, 2014 08:04:00 AM

Josh Evans and Winston Guy are expected to compete for the Jaguars' starting free safety job.

Evans, a sixth-round pick in last year's draft, started 11 games as a rookie, notching 58 tackles and one pass breakup. He didn't show much of a nose for the ball. Guy was claimed off waivers from Seattle prior to Week 1 and appeared in 14 games, making two starts. He has plus size at 6-foot-1 and 218 pounds. Guy is a big hitter. The Jaguars talked up Evans following the season. Fri, May 2, 2014 09:32:00 AM

Jaguars GM Dave Caldwell indicated the team is pleased with 2013 sixth-round FS Josh Evans returning as a 2014 starter.

Caldwell specifically said upgrading free safety will not be an offseason priority. Evans finished his rookie year with 58 tackles and no turnovers forced among 11 starts, grading out 78th among 86 qualifiers in Pro Football Focus' safety ratings. Fellow rookie SS Johnathan Cyprien graded 84th, but Jacksonville is betting on internal improvement for both in 2014. Fri, Jan 10, 2014 03:58:00 PM
